Jake Paul Plans To Become World Champ, Believes He’s Already Better Than Billy Joe Saunders

Jake Paul has a ton of confidence in himself as a pro boxer.

The brash YouTuber turned boxer, has taken the combat sports world by storm as he’s 3-0 and set to face former UFC welterweight champ, Tyron Woodley on August 29. It’s a tough test for Paul, but he’s confident he will KO Woodley inside three rounds.

Although Paul is facing legit combat sports fighters, many want him to test himself against a real boxer. However, Paul has said he wants to fight Canelo Alvarez within three years and believes he’s already better than Billy Joe Saunders.

“If Billy Joe Saunders, who fights like a wild chicken, can go in there and get a payday and fight Canelo and last that many rounds,” Paul said at his press conference (via TheSun). “Or Yildirim, the ‘Turkish Warrior’ can go in there and last three rounds, nine minutes, Yildirim didn’t throw a f***ing punch. I’m a much better fighter than both of those boxers. I’m bigger, faster, more athletic. So if those guys can go in there and hang with Canelo, can Jake Paul in three years go 12 rounds with him and beat him? We’ll see.”

There’s no question Jake Paul has a ton of confidence in himself. If he beats Woodley he will likely face a real boxer next and the plan for the YouTuber is to become a world champ in his career.

“I am the most impactful 3-0 boxer in history. No fighter has ever accomplished what I’ve accomplished after three fights,” Paul said. “People say I don’t deserve it but I’m earning more than any fighter, three fights in. I haven’t been hit in the face in three fights. That’s a fact. That’s unheard of for a professional boxer. I want to add experience. I want to go after Canelo in three years. I want to be a world champion.”
